You chose a career in full-time ministry and it feels like God blesses everyone else except you. It’s hard when we are doing the right things, and we see people doing the wrong things receiving the blessings that we desire. After hearing about God’s grace and mercy, she ran outside crying and sat underneath draping trees on her college campus because she just didn’t believe that mercy was for someone like her.

Maybe it’s a husband for you, or perhaps a certain job. At the time of her deepest despair, a gust of wind came and she heard the word, “Tirzah”.

Maybe it’s school acceptance or healing for a family member. She had no idea what the meaning of the word, but heard it twice more.

Whatever the circumstance, it’s common to compare and wonder what God is doing for others and not doing for us. For me, I moved to China to be a missionary and expected God to protect me from what I considered worst-case-scenario. He spared my friends, but allowed me to go through something extraordinarily difficult. Take a minute to let that soak in–Dad says we are his delight, his beloved.
